I've been working on my TJ for an upcoming trip to EJS. I had the check engine light diagnosed and while it was there had the engine oil changes and inspected. I had to put I'm a new catalytic converterand all new O2 sensors. I changed the t-case fluid, transmission oil, oil in both differentials, pit in a new thermostat, put on new rockslider and upgraded to the twin ARB compressor.

Looks good. You'll likely be happy with that compressor.

Thank you. I'm happy I can air down now.

Made it back from Moab a few days ago. Took a few days to get back into working on the buggy, a lot of wheeling and a lot of fun. The TJ did great. Got the lower driver side frame bracket gusseted.

Started to make a tubing straightener while I wait on tubing to come in. I ghot as far as I could with milling, but I need to turn the rest of the parts at work.

Doesn't tubing come straight? Never heard or curly tubing...haha.

It's cheaper if you buy it by the roll. [emoji23]

Insert foot..haha. Never saw it come like that. Now I get it. What diameter and wall thickness is that?

Its 3/8th aluminum fuel line. Not sure the wall thickness.

Ahh makes total sense now. I was thinking roll cage tubing or something similar. Then looking at your pic I was thinking maybe hard break line or something similar.

Tested out the flex today, pretty happy with it. Didn't bottom out the coilovers, there was 2 inches left in the passenger rear and about 4 left in the front driver.
